Yea it’s normal to have a slight bow in them. Some of it is memory from being on a large coil. Some of it comes from when I put the curf in the teeth. If it isn’t much it straightens out when it’s being used. If you think it’s too much you can hold the handle and have the point anchored and lightly push the blade with your foot where you think it’s the worst. Be careful and don’t push to hard being it’s only 3/16 material. Do real light pushing till you get it straightened out. Another little hint when you are done using the Icesaw for the season hang it on something by the pin hole in the end of the blade. If it is leaning against a wall the blade will slowly curve towards the wall. Funny material.

Where did you pickup the Icesaw. What if you are the lucky one and win smile the one at the SGT?

Sure...but your chances got even better since I bought one....or did they cool

I purchased it at the new Monticello Bait and Tackle. Id been eyeing that beast for about a month before

If it wasn't for you "Fish Toys" sponsoring the site I would have never bought one! Sure glad I did though!

It may bend while trimming around a seasoned hole. Just cut in the opposite direction of the bow next time to straighten it out.Can you imagine my grandpa only used a chisel and wasn't afraid of moving this late in the year.

darkhousefisher a few years ago I made some with a 60” blade and 15 teeth. They took a lot more time to make and were very difficult to ship. With the 3/16 material they weren’t very strong for the length of the blade. Most of them did go to AK tho.

      Aw, man, sorry to hear that.  Shed some tears and remember her well.  They all take a piece of our hearts with them; some more than others.

      New boat question

      By Wanderer · Posted

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      New boat question

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?
